As a final good by to the holiday season and 2011, I wanted to leave you with one last Christmas image. The above image is of our Christmas cactus in front of the tree as we are about to box up for the season. This cactus has been handed down from my grand mother to my mother and now to our family. Some years it flowers during Christmas and some years not until Easter but it always manages to flower with or without our help.
For several years now I've tried in vain to capture it's beauty and I never quite accomplish my goal. As a photographer and as in life, it's great to set goals that not only takes us on that magical journey but continually challenges us to do better and not settle for "good enough". I hope 2012 is full of wonderful journeys for you and your family and again thanks to all of you that have been following my journey the last couple of years. Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.
Great shot and great words to live by. Thanks, Mike for sharing...the 2012 journey begins!
